General precautions
Handling precautions
Piping
1. Because of a magnetic sensing-type sensor
switch, avoid use in locations under strong
magnetic fields, or near power lines and
other large current sources.
2. Do not apply strong force or excessive
bending to the lead wire.
3. Avoid use in ambient chemical atmospheres.
4. For use in ambient atmospheres subject to
dripping water or oil, consult us.
5. Note that the relay may be unable to
respond when the piston speed is high and
the switch’s ON time becomes too short.
Always thoroughly blow off (use compressed
air) the tubing before connecting it to the
rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.]. Entering
chips, sealing tape, rust, etc., generated
during piping work could result in air leaks or
other defective operation.
Mounting
Loosening the sensor switch mounting screw
(M3) allows removal of the holder and sensor
switch.
For mounting, hook the holder latch along with
the sensor switch onto the lower groove of the
cylinder barrel, and then tighten the mounting
screw.
Set the tightening torque of the mounting
screw to 0.2N·m [1.8in·lbf].
The sensor switch can be mounted in either
location A or B shown in the diagram. It
cannot be mounted in location C.

Caution: After mounting the sensor switch, always
confirm it is securely mounted.
Atmosphere
1. If using in locations subject to dripping
water, dripping oil, etc., or to large amounts
of dust, the band may break or the life of
the seals could be shortened, and use a
cover to protect the unit, or install with the
piston mount facing downward.
2. Do not engage in electric welding close to
the rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.]. The
welding spatters could damage the outer
seal band.
3. The product cannot be used when the
media or ambient atmosphere contains any
of the substances listed below.
Organic solvents, phosphate ester type
hydraulic oil, sulphur dioxide, chlorine gas,
or acids, etc.
Lubrication
The rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.] can be
used without lubrication. If lubrication is
required, use the recommended oils listed
below.
Recommended oils
Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. : Daphne Rockdrill 46
Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. : Rock drill oil 32
Mobil Sekiyu K.K. : Almo 525
Others: Products equivalent to the above
Media
1. Use air for the media. For the use of any
other media, consult us.
2. Air used for the rodless cylinder φ 10
[0.394in.] should be clean air that contains
no deteriorated compressor oil, etc. Install
an air filter (filtration of a minimum 40 µm)
near the cylinder or valve to remove
collected liquid or dust. In addition, drain
the air filter periodically.

Notes: 1. When the sensor switch is mounted in
the dimensions shown in the drawing,
the magnet comes to the sensor
switch’s maximum sensing location at
the end of the stroke.
2. When 2 sensor switches are mounted
on the same surface, the minimum
stroke should be 25mm.
Sensor Switch Operating Range, Response Differential, and Maximum Sensing Location
● Operating range: R
The distance the piston travels in one direction, while the
switch is in the ON position.
● Response differential: C
The distance between the point where the piston turns
the switch ON and the point where the switch is turned
OFF as the piston travels in the opposite direction.

Handling Instructions and Precautions
Selection
Mounting, Maintenance
Allowable load and moment
Although the rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.] can
be used with directly applying loads, make sure
that the load and moment do not exceed the
values in the below.

Mr=Fr×r2

Mounting
Maintenance
1. While any mounting direction is allowed, we
recommend that the piston mount be
installed so that it faces downward when
mounting in locations subject to dripping
water or oil, etc., or to large amounts of dust.
2. Avoid any electric welding after mounting the
rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.]. Current may
flow into the cylinder, generate sparks between
the inner seal band, outer seal band, and
cylinder barrel, and damage the seal band.
The rodless cylinder φ10 [0.394in.] is structurally
incapable of completely preventing air leakage to
the outside. Nevertheless, particles adhering to
the inner seal band are the most common cause
of initial-staged air leakages, and this type of
failure is easily remedied.
First, loosen the outer seal band setscrews,
remove the outer seal band, and apply approx.
0.1MPa [15psi.] of air pressure to the rodless
cylinder. Next, insert a cleaning tool inside the
cylinder barrel slit and then, while pressing down
the inner seal band and moving it along the slit,
use air to blow off the particles.
Caution: Avoid applying strong shocks to the
cylinder barrel’s slit portion.
Pitching moment：Mp＝Fp×r1 ········1N·m [0.74ft·lbf]
Rolling moment：Mr＝Fr×r2 ········ 0.2N·m [0.15ft·lbf]
Yawing moment：My＝Fy×r3 ······· 0.3N·m [0.22ft·lbf]
Maximum load capacity：W ···················· 20N [4.5lbf.]
Remark: The inclined angle of the piston mount
when applying the maximum moment in
the rolling direction should be 3 degrees
or less for totaling both swing directions.
Cautions: 1. The moment including the inertial
force generated when the load is
moved or stopped must not exceed
the values in the above. For the
mass and piston speed, see the
Cushioning capacity .
2. Rolling moment: Mr Should not be
applied as much as possible.

Cleaning tool
A long stroke and large load may cause
deflection in the cylinder barrel.
If support span:R exceeds the values shown in
the graph, install an F-type support in the
intermediate stroke position.

Cushioning capacity
While rubber bumpers are standard equipment
on all rodless cylinders φ10, keep the maximum
mass and speed within the ranges shown in the

ranges, install an external shock absorber, etc.,
to absorb the shock.

Since for structural reasons external air leakage
is inevitable for the rodless cylinder φ 10
[0.394in.], use of all port block 3-position valves,
etc., for intermediate stop control could result in
failure to maintain the stopping position.
We recommend, therefore, the installation of
double-sided pressure control circuits that use
PAB-connection 3-position valves, etc. For
intermediate stop control circuit under constant
loads, such as vertical mounting applications,
consult us.
Cautions: 1. Always use protective glasses.
2. When performing maintenance, use
the special cleaning tool. Use of a
screwdriver or other tool could
damage the inner seal band or
cylinder barrel.
3. If the above maintenance fails to
stop the air leakage, follow instructions in the user’s manual to perform
a cylinder overhaul.
